Late August to early September
Stanley is an exceptionally reliable and hardy plum variety. It was developed by crossing the Agen plum with the English large-fruited variety Grand Duke. The cross was made in 1912, seeds planted in 1913, and the first Stanley trees became commercially available in 1926. Widely cultivated worldwide, its fruits are versatile and suitable for various uses. Excellent for drying, making brandy, fresh consumption, and other processing. Recommended for cultivation due to its abundant yield, large and attractive fruits, tolerance to Plum pox virus, and combination of favorable traits.
The flesh is juicy with a sweet flavor.
The fruits are large (35–49 g), oval, with dark blue to almost black skin when fully ripe, and yellow, very tasty, and juicy flesh. Excellent for drying and brandy production. The stone is large and separates easily from the flesh. Overripe fruits drop easily from the tree.
Partially self-fertile. Good pollinators include Čačanska najbolja and Čačanska lepotica.
Relatively resistant to low temperatures but sensitive to late spring frosts. Good disease resistance, including Plum pox virus and brown rot (Monilinia spp.).
You can purchase seedlings of Plum Stanley at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
